Election Year or Fear!

Well that just goes to show how different schools can be. No bursar and an acting head in this case. Maybe my involvement was deeper by necessity

If that’s what you want to think….

Let's just go and borrow gazillions from middle eastern kingdoms or Emirates then we can pay everyone 100k a year. Simples. Or economy is likely ****ed already so no problem ****ing it up some more.

We need to appreciate that as a country we are unsustainable - we produce bigger all and have a massive visible trade deficit (albeit abated by invisible earnings). Everyone's hand is out shouting me, me, me ... both as individuals and institutionally - we were before the last election and we are looking to ing to keep on digging under KS.

Enough is enough, we are now bordering on third world. Let's lose the entitlement and face reality

If UK were a dog, the vet would put us down. #brokenbritain

I haven’t mentioned squadron leaders or Typhoon/fighter bomber pilots because I haven’t got a clue how they compare.
I just feel you’re being a little disrespectful to train drivers and the idea of anyone giving you ‘12 hydraulic levers’ to manage simultaneously in a ‘dangerous environment’ is something I find deeply disturbing.

🤣🤣🤣👌

Anyone know where page 148 is?

[Geoff Parkstone]

RA, Thicky is just parroting what Trice reform **** has been saying on social media, that defending what Farage earns, saying he "works" hard, whilst train drivers don't.

I mean fancy an MP from a private company that supposedly backs the "ordinary working" man, attacking a group of workers? Thicky hasn't a clue what a train drivers job entails (actually he hasn't a clue full stop) and all this talk of salary comparisons just demonstrates how Thicky, a supposed flag bearer for "liberal" capitalism has absolutely no idea about these matters.

If one was going to start attacking ludicrous salaries, I'd have thought professional footballers and especially those in the premier league would be the place to start, I mean how many GCSE's are required to earn £100k plus a week?

If the value and complexity of a job equalled its salary then there are plenty of roles that society depends upon which warrant more than say an investment banker, a TV presenter Journalists and indeed many Managers and CEO's!

Anyway one wonders, if driving a train was that simple for the pay, why Thicky when mining ceased didn't go for it?

Maybe it's my faulty memory but I seem to recall TTR saying he did previously work as a tube train driver?? He does after all make many claims ☺️

Indeed he does…I think he did refer to driving a train ‘underground’ at some point, however I took it to be something to do with his mining or engineering careers…either that or perhaps he had a starring role in that Indiana Jones film! Who can tell?

Mind you there have been a few suspect claims on here amongst the recent administrative chaos…I’m still waiting for explanations regarding me getting young minds to ‘surrender’, or AF’s claim about ‘constant Nazi references’ and it all being the fault of a ‘certain poster’s’ obsession with Farage.

Don't be so bleedin' arrogant! Neither I nor anyone else owe you an explanation on anything we address at someone else. I will point out though that it's not a 'claim' its an observation

Me being arrogant? Physician heal thyself!
Of course you don’t ‘owe’ me an explanation, just be nice if you’d say what you mean…and what I mean by that is, there’s lots of empty claims being fired at the moment…yours about ‘Nazi’ references, a ‘certain poster’ being obsessed by Farage, ‘most’ people having second jobs, my maths being incorrect (when it certainly wasn’t), and most teachers having second jobs together with TTR’s about ‘soft surrendering’ and the rubbish about MA being a ‘pen pusher’ who knows nothing.

Just my observation, but it’d be nice if, just for once, the pair of you would put some flesh on the bones of your claims and substantiate some of the nonsense being thrown around. Empty vessels and all that.

P.S. Sorry MA…only just seen your appeal. Take your point…just pissed off with people making personal remarks and innuendos which they appear completely unable to back up. Kind of invalidates the purpose of a forum….imo.
